Chemicals & Industrial

The inputs a plant runs on, delivered to the gate.

We supply the reagents, grinding media and bulk chemicals that mines, smelters and processing plants consume, in the quantities and packaging the site can handle.

Basis
Physical; basis stated on every quote

A mine or a plant stops when a reagent runs out, or when the mill is down for want of balls and liners. We supply sodium cyanide, lime, caustic soda, sulphuric acid, flotation reagents, grinding balls and mill liners and the other inputs a site consumes, in containers, isotanks or bulk, and we manage the hazardous-goods documentation and the last leg inland.

Sulphur and sulphuric acid link this desk to the others: sulphur from refiners, acid to leach plants and fertiliser producers, often on the same routes and with the same counterparties.

Where a site needs a stock position held nearby, scheduled call-offs or consignment terms, we structure it.
